York
Times
bestseller
and

Street
Journal
bestseller,
Rickards

the
future
of
the
international
monetary
system

fast-paced
and

look

the
financial
future,

in
financiers'
greed,
central
banks'
incompetence

impending
Armageddon

Financial
Times
The
international
monetary
system
has
collapsed
three
times
in
the
past
hundred
years.
Each
collapse
was
followed
by
a
period
of
war,
civil
unrest,
or
damage
to
the
stability
of
the
global
economy.
Now
James
Rickards
explains
why
another
collapse
is
rapidly
approaching.
The
US
dollar
has
been
the
global
reserve
currency
since
the
end
of
the
Second
World
War.
If
the
dollar
fails
the
entire
international
monetary
system
will
fail
with
it.
But
Washington
is
gridlocked,
and
America's
biggest
competitors
-
China,
Russia,
and
the
Middle
East
-
are
doing
everything
possible
to
end
US
monetary
hegemony.
The
potential
results:
Financial
warfare.
Deflation.
Hyperinflation.
Market
collapse.
Chaos.
In
The
Death
Of
Money
James
Rickards
offers
a
bracing
analysis
of
the
fundamental
problem:
money
and
wealth
have
become
ever
more
detached.
Money
is
transitory
and
ephemeral;
wealth
is
permanent
and
tangible.
While
wealth
has
real
value
worldwide,
money
may
soon
be
worthless.
The
world's
big
players
-
governments,
banks,
institutions
-
will
muddle
through
by
making
up
new
rules,
and
the
real
victims
of
the
next
crisis
will
be
small
investors.
Fortunately,
it
is
not
too
late
to
prepare
for
the
coming
death
of
money.
In
this
riveting
book,
James
Rickards
shows
us
how.
